Jack Gruber photoFresh off his jaw-dropping victory in Vancouver, Shaun White showed up to cheers and squeals on The Oprah Winfrey Show Friday and says he's thought "a little bit" about trying for a third straight men's halfpipe gold medal at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
He said: "Why would I not want to experience this again?"
White had already won gold this week when he did his second run with nothing to lose. He pulled out his Double McTwist 1260
two board-over-head flips inside of 3 1/2 turns
and pulled it off.
White says the trick is all about commitment. And he says he wanted to do it after the trick led to a nasty spill during a practice at last month's Winter X Games.
Says White: "I'll be a guy to not give up, to not quit easily. I got back up."
